  • International Day Against Homophobia

    Today is the International Day Against Homophobia.

    I’m not going to say much about it except to point towards a youtube video – one of the most articulate speeches of recent years about the topic.

    It is an unlikely person speaking in an unlikely location – a drag queen called Panti Bliss speaking at the end of of a production in the Abbey Theatre in Ireland.

    Lots of people will have seen it. If you haven’t, take a look.

    The next time you hear a straight church leader speaking about how it is not actually homophobic to take actions which work to the detriment of gay and lesbian people remember this speech. And ask who is best placed to decide what is homophobic and what isn’t.

    Strictly speaking, the Archbishop of Canterbury does have authority in Wales because of the border parishes in Powys and Monmouthshire that remain part of Hereford Diocese. But that’s a technicality.

The stained glass adds more backlighting than I had expected. Some bright spark this week suggested that I film the…

  • Monday Night Feast Night

    Monday, this coming Monday, is a Festival. To be precise it is the Feast of the Apostle Bartholomew. We try to mark the feast days of apostles and others with a Eucharist. They take place at different times and on differening days of the week to ensure that as many people as possible get to…

  • Cute Guys at St Silas

    The mystery worshipper has been to St Silas. Cute guys there, apparently. Read it all. Looks like it was the same reviewer who came to St Mary’s and reviewed us at Pentecost.

  • A Moratorium on Moratoria

    Rather surprisingly, I’ve not said much about the Lambeth Conference since it closed. The truth is, we were rather distracted at St Mary’s at the time. People are still asking me what happened. What was the result? Well, the result was not as bad as it might have been. I still wish that our bishops…
